Anniversary message generator

A free anniversary message generator. Give the year and one real detail, and Hemmingway writes wishes for a partner, parents, a couple or a colleague.

Opens Hemmingway with this filled in. Free to try, no card needed.

Give it the person, the number of years and one true detail, and Hemmingway writes anniversary wishes around them. It is for your own anniversary, your parents', a couple you know, or a colleague's years at the company.

The detail is what the message is made of. It will not make up a first date, a wedding day or a holiday you never took.

What makes it work

  • Say the number. "Twelve years" is a fact, and it carries more than "all these years".
  • Pick one detail nobody else would know. A habit, a flat you hated, a bad year you got through. It does not have to be romantic. It has to be true.
  • Look both ways. One line back, one line forward.
  • For someone else's anniversary, write about them. Not about marriage in general, and not about your own.

An example

Asked for a loving but not soppy message to a wife called Oksana on a 12th wedding anniversary, with the details that she reads the last page of every book first and that you have moved house four times, a message along these lines is what to expect:

Oksana, twelve years today.
Four houses, and in every one of them you have read the last page of the book first. I still don't know how you can.
I'd do all twelve again, and I'm looking forward to the next one. Happy anniversary.

If a line is not how you talk, say so in the chat and it has another go. You write the card yourself.

Partner, parents, a couple, or work

  • Your partner. The most personal one. If you want more than a few lines, the love letter generator gives you room. For an ordinary day that is not an anniversary, there is the love message generator.
  • Your parents. Write what you saw growing up: how they are with each other, something they still do.
  • A couple you know. Address both by name and mention one time you spent with them.
  • A colleague. Put "five years at the company" as the anniversary and what they are known for as the detail. The message thanks them for the work and keeps romance out of it.

For wording you can write yourself, there is the guide on what to write in an anniversary card.

Common questions

Is the anniversary message generator free?

Yes. Hemmingway has a free trial with no card needed, and this tool opens it with your answers filled in. You sign up once, and the message is written in the chat.

Can it write a work anniversary message?

Yes. Enter the colleague, the number of years and one thing they are known for at work. It writes a short, professional message that thanks them and leaves out anything personal you did not mention.

What if it has been a hard year?

Say so in the detail box, in your own words. An anniversary message can admit the year was rough and still say you are glad to be in it together.

Will it sound like AI?

It is built not to. Hemmingway-1, the model behind it, came first on sounding like a person in our own blind test, Human-Likeness. It still helps to read it aloud and change any word you would not use.
